We saw and did everything
African Pearl had everything perfectly arranged. Our driver/guide was wonderful. Communication was always excellent. I would not look anywhere else for a company. Uganda was the perfect place. In 9 days we saw savanna, tracked rhinos, chimps and gorillas. Nowhere else could compare.

A wonderfull tour in Uganda
After ten days in Uganda, we can only recommend African Pearl Safaris. The tour was planned exactly to our satisfaction and the guide was very responsive to our wishes. He was also a very skilled driver and we felt completely safe all the time.

Incredible
African Pearl Safaris is excellent in all ways. They respond to inquiries and emails very timely, their package prices are reasonable, and they made good use of time on the safari. Our driver, Herbert, was top-notch in all aspects! The accommodations booked by APS were friendly, clean, surrounded by great views, and close to the attractions.
One issue we had with them was communication indicating when payment was due. They were very helpful in resolving it and handled the matter professionally.
Overall, incredible experience! Would recommend to anyone and would like to use them for future expeditions.

Great custom trip to Rwanda and Uganda
Edris arranged a great 8 day Rwanda/Uganda itinerary for us. The accommodations (mid-range) were all very nice, and our driver/guide Fred was excellent. Fred really put in extra effort to notice what we were interested in - he asked the lodges to specially prepare local dishes for us, made extra stops such as helping us get a custom jacket sewn, pointed out animals long before we noticed them, and knew every bird. Our expectations for this section of the trip were exceeded!
However, we also continued on to 5 days in Tanzania booked through African Pearl but executed by another company. The Tanzania portion of our trip was not as well planned and the guides were not so good. Though Edris stayed in touch with us and tried to improve our experience, the company there in Tanzania was just not committed to providing the kind of 5-star experience that we had in Uganda. I would certainly recommend African Pearl for their home territory in Uganda/Rwanda.
